This whole charade of "justice" and the "letter and spirit" of the law really, deeply saddens and disheartens me. Steve Bannon is a criminal, doing his very best to subvert democracy, democratic values, and has completely disregarded any sort of rebuke from our judicial system, and, as the disgusting, rabble-rousing, crony of the current occupant of the White House that he is, will, just as in the case of the treasonous Mike Flynn, get away with basically "flipping the bird" at the US courts of law... I'm sure it won't be long until he sues the doj for wrongful inprisonment or some such nonsense, to the tune of millions of tax-payer dollars, just as Michael Flynn has done, with the Trump doj opening the bank vault and inviting him to help himself.
Judge Dugan, otoh, gets convicted for trying to maintain HER courtroom in the way she saw fit... I can't say whether what she did was criminal conduct, but JFC it seems like the fox is guarding the henhouse in the US these Orwellian days...
Great article and great podcast with Harry Litman.I do believe in Karma and feel Steve Bannon will continue to cross the line. I really feel bad about the judge.

"Trump is not as powerful as he wants you to believe. He is unpopular. His political standing is eroding. Yes, he can issue executive orders, and the Department of Justice will do his bidding. But courts will strike down those orders, and we have proven we can defeat the DOJ. Trump's true power — what he relies upon more than anything else — is convincing us that the fight is already lost, that resistance is futile, and that his army of election deniers is too powerful to overcome. If there is one message I try to deliver — in my writing, in the media, and to individual voters — it is this: Refuse to give him that victory. That matters because Trump's strategy depends on the illusion of inevitability. He needs his opponents to believe that fighting back is pointless, that institutions are fully under his control, and that anyone who stands up to him will be crushed.
Donald Trump is a president who treats the Constitution as an obstacle rather than a cornerstone of American democracy. He demands complete loyalty from his political allies — whether they are the governor of Florida or the secretary of state of Idaho. His aim is to demonize and intimidate his opponents. When it comes to elections, he wants to set the rules and control the results." D.D.ORG He is a chicken SH*T PEDO PIG KING T.A.C.O.
"A snippet of the audio captured Dugan saying “the side door.”" "snippet" says it all what if there is a word BEFORE "the side door"? and that word is "not"???
